Some people think foreign visitors should be charged more than local people when they visit the cultural and historical attractions in a country. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

It is a common practice that foreign travellers are required to pay more than domestic

visitors

when visiting cultural and historical sites. I disagree that charging foreign foreigners more is the right policy. Cheap tickets attract

visitors

from all over the world. It is very humane that people will be more attracted to something less expensive. The increasing fees would impact travellers’ plans to go on vacation as they should allocate extra budget to visit a specific

country

.

As a result

, the

country

will be labelled as an expensive

country

for tourists. In the long run,

this

policy will lead to decreasing foreign travellers and greatly impact the touristry sector.

Moreover

, in the travel industry, ticket fees of overseas guests are not the only source of revenue, but

also

the hotel industry. The number of hotels built near tourist areas can attract

visitors

because accommodation is accessible.

Furthermore

, the more attraction available, the more tourists will come. Take Indonesia as an example. Charging extra fees to oversea tourist will not add a significant number to the nation’s revenue as the number of oversea

visitors

in 2022 was one-

third

of all

visitors

in a year. Indonesia is a big

country

with thousand of tourism alternatives ranging from cultural, and landscape, to historical activities. In conclusion, I personally disagree that implementing a higher ticket fee policy for foreigners is a wise decision as looking for something cheaper is human nature and there are other sources of income that can be capitalized to boost touristry revenue.
